The Ohio Players:
Tough And Tender
The Ohio Players, with
three platinum albums, four
gold albums and four gold
singles, might be tempted
to leave well-enough alone,
but the climate which
spawned their earlier
successes has, in fact,
changed. They’ve grown
up.
Two years ago, the
Ohio Players felt the need
for some reflection of their
contribution to con
temporary music. The days
of the hard-driving, sexual
party rock were fast coming
to a close. “Where do we
go from here?” was the
Players’ refrain.
Where they have gone
is back to the studio after a
two-year hiatus. During
which, as individuals and
as a group, the Ohio
Players took time to reflect
on things past and a look
around to see where
success had brought them
to what degree of
Before Choosing A Technical
School,Know Its Reputation
For students
contemplating a career in a
technical field, choosing the
right school is a crucial
decision. How does one
make the right choice?
The most important
factor in selecting a
technical school is to know
its reputation in your field
of study.
For example, if the
school specializes in
electronics, find out what
kind of reputatior it has in
the electronics industry.
This can be done by
checking with your career
counselor or with personnel
departments of electronics

PROPRIETOR Carl E. Reese annourices the
transfer of ownership of Reese’s Tonsorial Parlor
(barber shop). Effective May 1, 1981, the new
owner is Benny Dunn. Reese’s Tonsorial Parlor

moved to the corner of Twelfth and Florence
Street in 1969.
Mr. Reese greatly appreciates the patronage of
his customers and hopes they will continue to
patronize the business. He now serves as an agent

satisfaction they had
achieved, not just in their
music but in their own lives
as well.
After a good deal erf
soul-searching, each ad
justing in his own way,
ideas were exchanged,
doubts were explored and
the necessary changes were
mai . The result in their
personal lives is reflected
musically in “Tenderness.”
The Ohio Players’ new
album’s title alone points
the way: a smaller, closer
knit group of four of the
original Players: Sugar, the
group’s primary producer
and lead guitarist; Merv
Pier on trumpet,
flugelhorn and trombone;
Ra'pb “Pee-Wee” Mid
dlebrooks on saxophone and
Marshall Jones, on bass.
The sound, while retaining
the flavor of the old, is
more lyrical, mere struc
tured, softer and more
sensual-a result of their
companies. If a company
tells you they only hire
graduates of certain
schools, those are the
schools you should con
sider attending. Never
risk your investment of time
and money at a technical
school that is not highly
regarded in the industry.
Several questions
should be answered when
assessing the reputation of
a technical school.
Is the school ac
credited by the Accrediting
Commission of the National
Association of Trade and
Technical schools (NATTS),
the main accrediting body
for trade and technical
schools?
personal inward reflections.
The strong hooks are
still there, but without the
be-bop and long, spon
taneous jams. Overall, the
cuts are shorter, tighter
and more meaningful-and
not without a few surprises.
Variety is the watchword;
“Tenderness’’ Ohio
Players-style, is applied
liberally to Country and
Western as well as to their
more characteristic bass
riffs.
The Ohio Players have
come out further than even
before and with a strength
and cohesiveness a long
way down the road from
glitter rock. Often the
music which endures comes
from the musicians who are
tough enough and at the
same time sensitive enough
to endure. Is it at all
surprising them that the
Ohio Players should show a
certain toughness .o come
up with “Tenderness?”
Is the school ac
credited by, or being
considered for accreditation
by a regional accrediting
body such as the North
Central Association erf
Colleges and Schools?
. Does the school assist
its graduates in finding
career employment prior to
and after graduation? If so,
what is its placement
record? Does the school
maintain records on
graduates to monitor their
career development?
. If the school offers
associate or bachelor
degrees in electronics
engineering technology it is
accredited by the
Technology Accreditation
Commission (TAC) of the
Accreditation Board for
Engineering and
Technology! ABET)?
Does the school assist
students in obtaining
financial aid, housing, and
part-time employment
during the school year?
. Does the school have
modern, up-to-date
laboratory equipment and
facilities?
. In addition to ap
propriate educationa.
background, does the faculty
nave “real world” work
experience in the subjects
which they teach?
. Does the school have
a library containing
technical journals,
periodicals, books and
reference materials?
Getting an education is
more than attending classes
and hitting the books.
Therefore, you might also
want to find out if the
technical school you are
interested in has ex
tracurricular activities such
as student senate, in
tramural athletics, social
mixers and hobby dubs.
To get a first-hand
view of what a technical
school that interests you is
really like, visit the cam
pus.
Attend classes; ask t<
see the library and
laboratories; and ask about
the courses and programs
in your area of study. Also,
observe what the students
are like. Talk to as many as
you can. They’ll be your
best source for candid,
realistic opinions about the
school
Jazz History Week Celebrated
Jazz Unlimited, a
CSRA Jazz Society, formed
in 1978, is celebrating Jazz
History Week May 18-24
with a series of educational,
cultural and entertainment
events.
This will include
seminars and workshops at
local schools with the intent
erf sharing the rich ex
perience that is jazz, the
only native American art
form, created by Black
people from our African
heritage, now enjoyed by
the world. This is the first
area in which non-court
designated integration
began.
It is significant to note
that recognition and ap
preciation of jazz music
came from abroad long
before American audiences
could accept its value.
Consequently, many of our
most import musicians
sought expatriation in
Europe, where they are
accepted and continue to
create and evolve.
The list of dynamic
performers is extensive -
some deceased and others
still “working.” Leonard
Feathers series of Jazz in
the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s
give comprehensive
biographical information on
the artists. This is but one
of many publications that
